A wanderer in space and time
It seems that Years and Years is now on Netflix. UK people have already seen this. Non-UK people should see this.

That is all.

This is a new and innovative use of the words "ongoing improvements" that I was hitherto unaware of. Thanks Yahoo.

Peter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous

The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer

And Epstein enabled that payday

Here’s the evidence. 🧵

I am so pleased that a new generation is getting its own Peter Mandelson scandal. It's like a Burgess, Maclean and the Profumo Affair crossover reimagined for the current century.

I am being judged. There is outrage, there has been some biting, some purring, excessive consumption of Sheba and an awful lot of yowling. Someone is very unamused about the last 7 days.

So pleased to have reached the UK. Normal disgruntled service will resume tomorrow. But tonight it is "the long drive home in rush hour".

So the thing I have learnt today is that your fingerprints will be scanned and photo taken each time you enter/exit Schengen. My previous understanding was that biometrics would be taken once, which is technically correct. The border guard just told me that they are now sampled again at each entry.

Gotta love that the Norwegian for "baggage claim" is almost certainly pronounced "bagsy"

First bit of the trek home completed. I have achieved airport. Complete dick in front of me at security who insisted in unpacking ALL contents of his carry-on into separate trays. This has resulted in him leaving his phone behind. Security keep paging him, but he's ignoring them.

This is the start of the long trek home. Crossing Varanger Fjord heading for Kirkenes. The on board restaurant let me make sandwiches and provided wrapping for them as both my flights home are too short to offer a meal service and crisps & soda are not a viable meal option for diabetics.

Oxford University dodged a huge bullet when it failed to elect Peter Mandelson as Chancellor in 2024

Most supporters have since erased their public endorsements, pretending their enthusiasm never existed

Of course, there's always a great fool who splashed his support across a national newspaper 😄

In the UK academic recession, you will be at one of these stages since many unis buy the same cuts model from the same consultancies. It is always the same process:
*Talk of belt-tightening
*Incidental savings (e.g. printing, refreshments)
*Travel budgets cut
*Promotion freeze (1/4)
